List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

[Alfonz]

Where has this myth that Riley garcia is fast come from?

Can't say I've ever seen that watching him, he's a short slow inside mid with average skills, does tackle tho

Had to check draft profiles just in case, nothing about speed

He's your classic vfl player that probably doesn't make the step up, we've already got 2 of them on our list at Peel

AFL Draft Combine: What You Need to Know

With the 2019 AFL Draft Combine getting underway in Melbourne, here's everything you need to know about the drills the draft hopefuls will complete.

On the 20m sprint:
"Riley Garcia would have been a shot in this test if not for a knee injury (he has previously tested at 2.91 seconds)."

 

[dont bowl there]

Problem with Garcia is he's an inside mid and he would be about 6th in line if he came here, it just doesn't make any sense. This isn't a Mannah who was playing High half forward in the VFL, every time I have seen Garcia play in the VFL it's been as a pure inside midfielder. Someone mentioned he was shifted to the half back line later in the season but I didn't get to see any of that.

Can't say he was overly impressive in that role. He would be a decent enough Switta replacement if he left I guess.

I would be content with retaining all our stars.

Bringing in Bolton, Garcia and Martin.

Using a first in the draft.

Bolton for class, Garcia for the tackles/pressure and Martin for quality depth/sub in finals.

Pickett comes to the party late throw the first at him and some.

Warner won’t be this year. Just feel like even if they win he’ll hang for 12 months.

I think that would be a pretty good result tbh

 

[Superkoops]

Switta was looking, and changed his mind.

Plus why wouldn’t he have come out said he wants a trade? Did his exit interview over 2 weeks ago. Bulldog players are announcing they want to head off 1 day after exit interview.

I’d genuinely be surprised if NoD left but I guess there is a bit of a gap between where his manager feels he should be and where Freo are offering. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions yet. But he is most doubtful at this stage.

Club is probably waiting till after the doig to announce trade requests. They’ve been really weird with a lot of their timing this year. Has to be on purpose.

Would have got out to media by now if he'd asked to be traded

I find it very very strange that the Dockers would be after JAck Martin. He has been built of alfoil since his first game.
Yes, he can play, if he ever gets fit or over injuries.
It would disappoint me immensley if we paid anything for him, or even chased him.
I thought our half way house years had gone.

Maybe. Maybe not. Rhino only says what the club wants him to. Not many other WA journos that drop anything.

 

[guidodp15]

You can lock Martin in everyone knows he had a medical with us but we have committed to taking him

We are clearly interested as he did a medical last week, agree on the pay anything for him, I guess a pick in the 60’s isn’t much and the blues get points to match bids (if they need any more) but I’d prefer the SSP route and give him time to prove he won’t break down again like that St kilda player last year.

Got any other news?

Or it might be the club isn't announcing contract extensions/offers until peel is out of finals to avoid any discontent with anyone who may be delisted.

 

[Taylor]

It's that we are still waiting on Voss' contract announcement from the club that gives me that hope on O'Driscoll.

There's Voss from the West Australian. But nothing from the club as far as I can see.

Freo lock in breakout forward Voss until end of 2026 season

Fremantle have reportedly locked away forward Pat Voss for another two years after a breakout season.

[Silencer83]

I can’t think of a single time where he’s stepped up when the game was on the line.

Round 10 2024 against StK, all tied up at 3 quarter time, JOM scored 2 goals 1 including the sealer in the final quarter to put them away.

Admittedly the only example that immediately came to mind.

Edit. Corrected to 2024.

Put Heeny on skates and kicked a big one v swans too

 

[FreoRicci]

It didn't make us any worse like people like to pretend though, he's been a pretty good on field leader, good mature body.

Boring argument and attitude. What does it say that the club offered such a nice guy 4 years at the age of 28, who’s done nothing of note at Gold Coast and Hawthorn, when Acres gets 1 low ball trash year at 26?

It’s a horrible trade, it was a hopeful quick insert inside mid (who he supposed to be) instead pushed on the defensive wing to be included with Fyfe. 15 disposlas per game in the last month shouldn’t just be ‘okay’ at his age. Rather a young Stanley or Johnson on the wing getting that number.

Now if NOD leaves, which may still be likely, and trash ‘homesick’ retirees like JOM stays for two years, the club is utterly stupid.

I guess the difference is Noddy in radio saying he’s not going to sort that out until after the finals are over that is causing pessimism amongst fans

I think Hawks have paid at least a quarter of that whole contract value.

I’m guessing you mean 2024. And it’s not like he stepped up and willed the team over the line. We were dominant all game but couldn’t kick for shit.

Almost like we needed someone of experience to have a moment of composure.

O'Meara isn't the reason we didn't win at the end of the year, he was a big part of why we didn't win games at the start of the year though while he learned that role.

We haven't announced any of the players still involved in the Peel finals. All 3 of our last round of announcements aren't involved in the Peel offseason

I think the main difference is we all knew pretty much what was happening with those three. We know with Voss as well but we're holding off.

It's basically crickets across the board with everyone else.
